June 2021 Prayer Suggestions



Pray-ers, please pray regularly and fervently about the following.

  1. For an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in our presbytery.
  2. That Presbyterians in the South will experience new joy and enthusiasm in their faith, worship and mission.
  3. For the leadership teams in all of our churches grappling with how to be effective in what is often a difficult context.
  4. For conversions. May people in our communities be born again by the Spirit of God and become life-long followers of Jesus.
  5. Please also be listening. Tell us what you believe God wants to say to us.

Of course, pray in any other way God leads you to too.
